MARION, Ill. - Social media is still buzzing in response to a school shooting threat happening in Marion on Wednesday, November 14, 2018.
Some parents were reluctant about sending their child to school even today (Friday, Nov. 16).
A sixth grader, it's being reported to our correspondent, made a statement with the intent.
School officials had the situation under control within minutes and the student was dealt with harshly, we've been told.
